Thank you for the welcome - according to your membership guidelines, I DEFINITELY qualify! I'm pretty tech-illiterate, but I have a friend (who I got hooked on Voyager and now Enterprise too) who has promised to give me some lessons this weekend.

It's taken me 2 days to read the entire thread (around work and family etc) but am still unclear as to whether there is a single official meaning to THUG,? My initial thoughts were Trip's Holy Under Garments, lol.

Absolutely love this thread!

Welcome to the T.H.U.G. Collective, Nx-01fan! Pictures, we love pictures.

And now, a blast from the past (September 2006):

At the botttom of the salpool is the THUG archive, and I am proud to present it in it's sad entirety.

Notice the geraniums reference is mine. Cooleddie's is coming soon. I think I was referring to the flowery patterns CT sometimes has on his shirts. Or I'd had one glass of wine too many, take your pick!

How about Trip's (a) Hot Underrated Guy?

Or just Totally Hot, Unbelievably Gorgeous?

Does it really matter all that much? As long as we're all members of the T.H.U.G. collective and we all drool over that sexy man?
